Sarah Guske

Companies in the technology and telecommunications industries seek out Sarah for her decades of experience litigating patent disputes to develop robust litigation strategies, mitigate risk, and safeguard their innovations. Her strategic use of inter partes reviews (IPRs) and trial experience has helped clients avoid potential legal liabilities. Sarah recognizes that litigation can interfere with a client’s focus on its core business. Whether it is a client’s first litigation, first bet-the-company matter, or one of many legal battles the company is facing, Sarah takes the time to thoroughly understand each client’s short- and long-term goals to design strategies that support the client’s business strategy.

Sarah frequently speaks about trial strategy with a focus on defending against willfulness allegations and on using IPRs in district court cases. She has also served as an adjunct professor teaching patent law and litigation at universities such as the University of California College of Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings), the University of Colorado, and the University of Denver.

Before joining Morgan Lewis, Sarah served as the department chair of another global law firm’s California intellectual property groups.
